Author: Rev. George Croly Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #120 (1929) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Spirit of God, dwell Thou within my heart Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, dwell Thou within my heart;
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move;
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind;
I see Thy cross - there teach my heart to cling:
O let me seek Thee, and O let me find.
4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. Topics: The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS
